Writing non-fiction books is a rewarding way to share your knowledge with other people. If you’re an expert on something, you can write a non-fiction book explaining it. Examples of some excellent self-published non-fiction books include:
If you’ve written a non-fiction book, the next step is publishing it. For many authors, self-publishing their non-fiction work is the best solution. When you self-publish, you’ll see benefits like:
Self-publishing is a fast, effective way to take your book from a file on your computer to a physical object you can sell without giving up your rights to a publisher.

experienced
book editors to polish and prepare your book for publication. Whether you need simple line
editing to spot mistakes or in-depth developmental editing to tighten up your book,

Books must be carefully formatted to create a cohesive structure before publishing;
specific formatting depends on your preferred publishing method(s) and how you want the final
product to look.
Non-fiction books often require in-depth formatting. For instance, cookbooks, art books, and
self-help books all need specific book layouts to make them legible and functional. Work with
Road House Publishing book design services to format your book for your chosen publication method.
Many people do judge a book by its cover. You need a high-quality cover to make your
book appealing to your target audience.
The graphic designers at Road House Publishing provide top-tier book cover design services for
non-fiction books like yours. This service ensures that your book makes a great first impression
on potential readers.

publishing services can help you get your book into physical form.

used, so your final product will always live up to your expectations. Plus, you can order
hardcover books, softcover books, or both.
Printing your books isn’t the end of the story. The final step is book marketing.
You’ll need to get the word out about your book, so potential readers know it exists.
With Road House Publishing’s book marketing services, you can start spreading the word about your new
book
and winning sales. These services include PR tools, marketing copy, and an author website
designed to get your book in front of the people most likely to buy it.

Antonio Lopez is a fantastic project manager. This is my first experience with publishing although I have written many newsletter articles. Antonio's patience and support have been instrumental in me wanting to write more. As an 85 year old retired educator, I have acquired many ideas through the years for children's books and teacher training support which I am enjoying to share through publishing. Please extend my compliments to the entire support staff. Illustrations are fantastic and the proofing is outstanding. Thank you.

My experience with Emma Felix as senior project manager was great ! Her team was responsive, detail-oriented and open to comments. I got to work at my pace. That made a huge difference. The typesetting was perfect. The team produced my eye-catching book cover in a flash ! I had a great manuscript to start with. Now, I have a fantastic book to sell. All the best to Emma and her team.

I had been thinking about publishing my shocking diary experiences with my ex-wife & browsed on self-publishing in mid October 2024. Having clicked on the page, Zach Francis popped up on a chat box “how can I help you?”. I told him my thoughts & we chatted for maybe an hour? I sent my (very) draft WORD file & at the end, I agreed to sign up. Next up, I was contacted by Cheryl Ann who has been my contact & constant companion throughout the process of cleaning up the document into a 500 page book. Daily “pings” on the dedicated platform to communicate & send document updates, book cover, video trailer etc. Cheryl must work long hours & is dedicated.

I have been very impressed with publishing services. Felix Larsson was fantastic at the commencement of the program. He clearly explained the cost and processes and they have reflected my experience so far. Incredibly reasonably priced and has helped me fulfil my publishing dream. He also checks in and is super helpful. Harvey West then took over and has been working hard to get the illustrations completed and the project finalised. I have appreciated their commitment and attention to my needs as an author. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with the team on future publication projects.

The key distinction lies in durability and presentation. A paperback features a flexible, lightweight cover bound with adhesive, making it more portable and cost-effective. A hardcover, on the other hand, is bound with a rigid, cloth- or paper-wrapped board, offering greater longevity and a premium feel. While paperbacks are ideal for casual readers, hardcovers elevate the reading experience, making them perfect for collectors and high-end releases.
